JOHN SHERMAN RESIGNS
Senator JohH Sherman Tenders Bis
Resignation as President Pro
Tempore.
Brief Statement Showing Why N
Action is Deemed Necessary at
the Present Time.

dispatch from Washington stats TIM,
Senator Sherman has deemed il wise N
resign disposition as presiding ofies,
of the Senate, to take effect on FeLruarv
90. The reason assigned for this is TIA;
as his present term as United States Sen.
ator will expire ON March 4, next, he ~
course could not hold the Office as Presi.
dent of the Senate during the long recess
as he would not be sworn, and he recon.
mends that a Senator be chosen Presider,
pro tempore whose term of Office will not
expire until after the meeting of Congres.
in December next. The position OF pr4.
sident in the Senate is not so i'm
portant in the organization Of
the government as il was some years ago
when the Senate adjourned on March
without electing president pro tempore
The omission or neglect on the part Of the
Republicans to elect presiding officer Of
the Senate at the time might have been
very important matter, for before the
Senate convened again Gen. Garfield
died. Mr.. Arthur, who was Vice Pres.
dent, and by virtue of that Office President
of the Senafe, had become President and
if he too, had died in the interim the
control of the administration woald have
passed directly to the speaker of the
House, who was @ Democrat. 1t has been
the custom in preceding years foi the
Vice President to vacate the chair
the day before the final adjournment
in order to permit the election of pres
ident pro tempore. Bnt there was strong
feeling among the Republicans in the Sen
ale at that time for many reasons, and
Mr. Arthur did not choose to do this
Now, however, the Presidential secession
bill is law and the line of succession to the
Presidencyis no longer through the presid.
ing officers of the two houses. But the Sen.
ate, nevertheless, would be put to great
Inconvenience without the election of
President pro tenn pore at the meeting
of congress in December, as there would
be no official who could then swear in the
new senators except the secretary Of the
senate, and in fact call that body to or.
der. Besides there are some things ex.
ecutive in their character like the care Of
some parts of the building which have
been placed by tradition is net by law in
the hands of the president OF. the senate
so that if there should not be a president
pro tenpore between March and Decem-
Der some portions of the technical ad.
ministration of the senate would be head
less, There is a pecuniary advantage
which some of the senators do not over
look. The presiding officer of the senate
is entitled to $4,000 more per AMMAN
than the other senators.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
Severe Earthquake Shocks at Nice
Cervo. and Other Places on the
Mediterranean.
Three Hundred People Perish at Ceryo
by Being Barred Benerth Falling
Walls.

A cAblegram from Rome, Italy, on
Wednesday says: Two shocks of earth
euake were felt at Nice at O'Clock this
morning. Houses rocks, walls cracked,
and in some cases frail tenements were
thrown to the ground. The people
rushed from their houses and fell upon
their knees in the streets, praying for
deligerance from sudden death. Visitors
to the city have become thoroughly
frightened and are leaving the place.
Many persons were injured by falling
debris. Much alarm is felt lest there be
a recurrence of the shocks. The Prince
Of Wales, who was in Nice few days ago
witnessing the festivities which precede
the Lenten season, had taken his depart
ure and was safe az Cannes. Shocks
were also felt at Monte Carlo and Monaco,
at which places they were so severe that
rocks we're detached from the cliffs and
precipitated int the sea. The disturb
snces extended as far "a Genoa.
On the same date the above facts con
frmed by the following dispatch from
London. Further dispatches concerning
the earthquakes in the south of Europe
this morning state that two violent shocks
were felt at Toulon at 6 o'clock. The At
shock was of fifteen seconds duration aid
the second of twelve seconds. The move
ment was from west TO east. At Cannes
three shocks were felt at the same hour.
Many persons rushed TO the sesshore for
safety. Nobody was injured. At Avignon
three shocks were experienced between s
and s O'Clock. The first shock WAS very
severe, and awakened everybody in the
place. Several shocks were felt at Geneva
at O'Clock
EXCITEMENT Al NICE.
A dispatch from Nice dated noon to- day
says that many casualties were caused by
the earthquake there this morning. The
peopl- are panic-strioken, and the entire
population is in the streets. The railway
station is besieged with visitors, who are
anxious TO leave at the first chance that
offers. Two houses-ons in st. Etienne
street and one in st, Philippe street-and
the Msison Bvurke were destroyed by the
earthquake. Three persons are buried in
the ruins of these buildings. There was
also a slight shock at Marseilles this
morning. The walls of number of
houses in that city were cracked. Shocks
we're also felt at Leghorn and Milan and
severa! places in the province of Genoa,
Italy.
At the time of the earthquake this
morning the River was crowded with
English aud American tourists and per-
sons of distinction. When the first shock
occurred the streets of Nice we're fairly
thronged with persons in ballroom
costumes, returning to their homes from
the last carnival of the winter season. To
these the earthquake came with peculiar
terror.
The shocks were felt with great severity
at Savoaa, near Genoa, and a number OF
houses were wrecked and eleven persons
killed at that place.
The Prince of Wales being at Cannes,
she Queen became exceedingly anxious
concerning him when she learned of tho
earthquake, Her Majesty at once tee-
graphed him. The Prince Immediately
telegraphed a reassuring reply.
